Im September 16th....I havent been in hospital for 22 years to the date and that was for the birth of my twin boys who were born 09/16/91.

This surgery will also be a life changing experience for me!!

On day 5 of my 10 day liquid diet, not starving, not agitated or overwhelmed just excited its getting closer. My Dr allows us pre surgery to add soy milk, almond milk {unsweetened} to our protien drinks, it makes them so tasty. If you are having a problem ask about that. Try mixing protein flavors I did choc/banana yesterday and strawberry/choc.

I was just given my surgery date...September 19th. I have a week long liquid diet which starts Thursday. Having it done by Dr. Hohen in Lenexa' date=' KS.

I've be considering this for quite a while and talked to a couple of different doctors. It took a month to get an appointment with Dr. Hohen, so I expected it to take another month or so to get surgery scheduled...Nope! He had an opening 10 days later.

I'm also the 19th and I'm freaking out about what to have the 7 days prior. I feel like I'm going to get depressed from not having food.

Hello! My surgery is Thursday I am excited and very calm about it. I have been meditating and doing positive affirmations that's my practice. I am new to this forum but I love the idea of having support!

On my way to the hospital! ...oh wait. Hubs forgot his cell phone. On the way back home!

Hopefully I'll make it on time! Feeling anxious, nervous and HUNGRY! Usually I would be stuffing my face with sweets when feeling this abnormal. No more!

Yeah...I hadn't looked into what types of protein drinks to buy as I wasn't expecting to get scheduled so soon. Last night, I read the reviews of protein drinks and ordered some necter off amazon which will be here Thursday morning.

I've been hearing about this nectar. What's it for?

Good Luck everyone who's having surgery today!

Wow...I have a very similar situation. What surgeon are you seeing?

I am seeing Dr Cunningham and Dr Chu in Lafayette Louisiana

Super nervous!! My stomach is doing cartwells.

It is a type of protein drink that is supposed to taste pretty good.

Good luck to everyone having surgery today.

Old self- Yes it is a typ of protein powder you can buy. I have tried some of the nectar ones and I really like the Oreo cookie with unsweetened chocolate almond milk.
